The music blaring from the speakers as the Jets began practice was fitting.

“Don’t worry about a thing. ‘Cause every little thing gonna be all right,” Bob Marley sang.

The Jets enter their bye week at 2-8, hoping that every little thing gonna be all right. They know the playoffs are out of reach, barring a miracle, but they insist they still have something to play for.

“One thing I’m confident in is we’re going to play our tails off,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. “We are going to prepare like it’s a playoff game riding on it. That’s the way this group will. How many wins we’ll have? We’ll find out. But I’m confident we’ll have a number of them.”

Ryan better hope so. It seems like a longshot the Jets can save his job this season like they did last year when they won three of their final four games. Ryan was asked if he thinks about how many wins he needs to keep his job.

“I need every one I can get,” he said with a laugh.

The Jets have winnable games remaining on the schedule. They play two teams with losing records and have their toughest opponent (the Patriots) at home. That being said, the Jets have done nothing in recent years to make you think they can go on a winning streak. They have not won three games in a row since the 2011 season and have only won two consecutive games twice over the past 2 ½ seasons. Their longest winning streak under Ryan is five in 2010.

The dismal season and their lack of winning streaks has not stopped the players from believing they can salvage this season with a strong finish over the final six games.

“We can win all the games,” linebacker Calvin Pace said. “A lot of it is up to us, not having to go out and play against an opponent and ourselves. When I say that, the mistakes we make sometimes, the big plays we give up sometimes, we need to dial in and be on point every game from here on out.”

The Jets beat the Steelers on Sunday with their old formula of playing good defense, forcing a few turnovers and not turning the ball over on offense. The Jets have been discussing playing like that for months, but they finally saw the result of it on Sunday.

“I hope they see how much easier it makes it on themselves,” Pace said. “It really is hard to win games in the NFL, even games you’re favored to win in. It makes it that much harder when you’re out here doing things that’s not helping your cause, whether it’s turnovers or giving up big plays. With that being said, I hope they took that feeling from last Sunday and just carry it over. I’m not saying it was easy, but things were a lot easier when we weren’t hurting ourselves.”

The challenge begins next week in Buffalo. The Jets are 1-4 under Ryan after the bye week. That made him change up the team’s schedule this week. Normally, he gives the players off the entire week after watching the film on Monday. This year, he had practices on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ryan told the team something a Navy Seal told him about when they take time off, they are never truly off. They are still thinking about their next mission.

“For them, there’s not a whole lot of break,” Ryan said. “He talked about jumping on that fast-moving train. I’ve used that illustration with our guys that when we get back we’re right back into it. You’ve got to be ready to handle it and not kind of work your way into it. You’ve got to be ready.”
